Well it’s not my special little secret anymore.
I came out to one my closest friends yesterday, there was an opportunity in the conversation so I took took advantage of it and slowly eased it in. I knew he wouldn’t judge me but I didn’t expect the reaction I received.
While I was talking to him and telling him my when I started, the reasons why, how this ‘hobby’ has helped me and what a good experience it has been he started tearing up. I know it sounds weird, him tearing up, but he was by my side while I was going through a really rough time for the last 2 years and he'd always check up on me to see if I was doing ok, especially after everything was over.
He was just so genuinely happy for me, guess to him it meant that I was doing ok :smile:
